Already disable all EIST, Thermal Management & C1E, Virtualization etc. NB is a bit hot though.. around 45c idle!

In my bios option, the lowest VID (vcore) option is auto, followed by +25mv, +37.5mv etc..

Thanks for the replies so far

EDIT:

Manage to find the bios screenshot here..
Here you can see at CPU VID Special Add -- the options are only auto, +25mv, +37.5mv etc.

That's why i think auto is the lowest vcore that I can set on this board. (use to undervolt my e6300 alot in my old ds3 board, but using this board i'm a bit blur)

Yea....Auto is the lowest Vcore you can get.

-pWs-

You can use some software to get lower vcore than Auto/stock.....

Hahahaa...what for bro? We need powah to FOLD

-pWs-

Some people want to downclock ma......

mobo bios... on vcore menu,
either using vid+ ['X' mv] , or shows the exact vcore to choose/select.

for other mobo like gheygabyte, can select vcore to as low as, eg. 0.5v
so u got option to undervolt it till the lowest stable point to achieve lowest temp. on stock speed.
or u can also oc but still undervolt a bit (means running lower than vid.)
of course, need to stress test it to find the sweet point of undervolt+oc.

Thanks bro irenic for the tips.
I already added VTT to one more step.

Now stable at 3375MHz.

-pWs-

he ask u to be braver, add more to clock more

Hahaaa...slowly bro.
Temp already over 70 degree for Coretemp

-pWs-

act no.. auto is not the lowest.. some board tend to increase the vcore automatically up till 1.4vcore when we leave the setting at auto..

huhu try realtemp and see what's the temp


btw i just manage to test 3 coolers for my x3350.. geminII, ocz vendetta 2 (/ xigmatek s1283) and intel stock cooler

and yes, geminII is the best among these 3 coolers..

Realtemp reports 10 degree lower.

-pWs-

hehe realtemp is more accurate than ur coretemp..

Yea...but still hot I think.
60+- for all 4 cores.

How you think?

-pWs-

Wow, i read one review (forgot edy where) which said that geminII only good for 2 core but not quad core?? Glad to here that.

Normal.Your HSF should feel warm,not hot during load right?Normal if like that

I used the same hsf as your, that Noctua cooler on my QX9650 for 1 month.. Yea, it seems that noctua cannot tame the penryn procs. So, yesterday i change to TRUE 120, not much different but i'm quite happy with 49c (core temp) or 39c real temp on idle and 57/47c on load. but i notice that pairing noctua with my e6600 es proc is almost like marriage made in heaven. Nver exceed 20c, the lowest is around 9c and average 17C. Yesterday, i put another fan to the noctua and bios showed the temp was -2C Unfortunately, BSOD after that coz i made a drastic increase in frequency when did the OC, mayb today try again after reset the CMOS.

Yup...Warm2

Wow...nice info you have there.
Actually i was thinking want to change cooler also.

-pWs-

Liquid cool

I just started work on the Xeon X3350, plugged onto a EP35-DS3 and pumped FSB to 400, voltage to 1.225V. SpeedStep, C1E etc. all still running.

Temps are at 45/43/45/37 idle and 60/59/60/53 100% load with 2 instances of orthos set to run on 4 cores.

Is it just me, or the temps seem a bit too high? Using cooler master Hyper 212 in Antec 900 case atm.

those temps are normal for a quad with ur cooler...
